Priorities and tests of strength

[Burgbud]

Fearless) And the fact that you've written those words does not scare you???

No. Cemar isn't brain dead.


(Fearless) What about my true story of a man who went Elk hunting against his wife's wishes with the birth of their baby impending?

Not analogous. Why such a reach?


To be clear, I still do not know that Brian's wife understood that during his second hospitalization there was a significant chance of him dying.

"second hospitalization"...surgery...was she even *trying* to understand?


I also did not hear him ask for her to come home to him.

I think he explicitly said that he didn't ask for her to come home. Mistake on his part, certainly. But if the roles were reversed, I'm not buying that anyone would give a fig that the wife didn't explicitly tell her H to come home to her.

Mojo's ex gets raked over the coals for not giving her a hug when her dad died (if I remember the circumstances correctly) but Brian's wife gets a pass for staying with her post-op mother while he was quite legitimately concerned for his life, in and out of the hospital and having surgery. That's very instructive.

ETA:

Even my ex would have come home under those circumstances. She has her good qualities underneath all that crazy.

Edited again to add:

I thought Miss IC said it very well though I don't agree with the direction she took her conclusion:

I've got aging parents in Florida with my dad being in a nursing home and is on borrowed time. Then I'm faced with IC and his cancer. I know where my priorities lie, but please don't make it out that Brian's wife is a thoughtless or non-caring person for her choice...it's hard!!!

(emphasis added)

Yes, it's hard. When it's hard is when it counts the most.
